here's my 0.02 USD... i subscribe to the dealbook email (email in morning and afternoon) which is a great roundup of links - very value added. i used to go to the dealbook rss feed but found the email was all i needed and the rest of the posts were non value added at least to me abnormal...

the only way to pick bottoms like that (if you can call it that) is to go down to a lower time frame like the 30 or 15 minute or at a minimum if you're trying to pick a bottom say "go long if price above yesterday high" - but even then you get faked out like on 11/9 price went above the 11/8 bar...

speaking of vacations/holidays/voluntary time off from trading - there was a true story of a s&P floor trader from the 80's who took his wife to europe during the crash of 87 and he completely missed it and so he got a flight on the concorde back here but it figures he would have made millions...

another thing to remember w/ bbg is that you sign a two year subscription agreement - you can't just suck it up, pay for whatever months you want and then stop. so you're not just committing to $2k - you're committing to minimum $48k (well you can break the contract by paying 50% of the...

+1 to the OP. i nearly went insane when the mkt closed for sandy. why the hell is trading electronic if a storm affecting the northeast can shut everything down?

AFAIK, ergotron doesn't make a single stand to support 8 monitors - you would need 2 separate stands holding 4 each (2 by 2).

http://www.forexfactory.com/ is a great site for global econ numbers. in the upper right hand corner click on the "filter" button and select the currency you want and you have all of the upcoming econ numbers in one place - for free!

for ft aritcles (and most articles in general) if they're behind a paywall here is a simple yet effective solution that works 99% of the time... step 1: highlight title of article step 2: right click and select "search" title of article step 3: article usually shows up as first result in...

you need an extremely tight stop when playing weekly/front month options or these losses will keep happening. fb had a lot of resistance at 24 so it's not surprising it pulled back from there. if fb can break 24 you could get long.

you could buy a WTI put - here is a link to the cme website. http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/energy/crude-oil/light-sweet-crude_contractSpecs_options.html of course you have to deal w/ what timeframe to buy/deal w/ contango/etc. airlines deal w/ this every day. also mexico has a huge...

+1 for ergotron. i've been using the same one for more than six years. if a nuke was set off next to it, i think the stand would still be there.

although reuters is trying to compete w/ bbg it's not that much cheaper than bbg - if you have enough money to get reuters you have enough money to get bbg. there is a huge diff in data feeds - just compare an ib chart to a iqfeed (or kinetick which is rebranded). paying $50 or $100 a...

let me stop you - stay away from all options/stock services! if the service was so profitable why not just trade it, compound the money and buy the earth? the answer is it isn't otherwise they wouldn't be sharing it w/ you and everyone else and their brother and allow you to front run their...

a great tip i learned from brian shannon from alphatrends (well not personally but you know) was to only use 30 min chart instead of hourly for equities (not futures since they trade around the clock) b/c there are 13 30 min intervals in a trading day versus 6 hour intervals and one half hour...

a couple thoughts re TF vs ES some brokers charge a separate fee for ICE (for TF for example) TF doesn't have nearly the liquidity as ES does so if you're trading a sizable number of cars you might pay a few more ticks than you would if you were trading ES, CL

to wrap up this thread - re posters coming on the internet proclaiming their desire to steal software i thought about the fugitive who posted on FB "it's so nice down here in mexico" - the marshals had him in cuffs before the sun went down that day.

for the past week HG has been in a 0.10 range - the trade is to either long above 3.50 or short below 3.40.

correct me if i'm wrong but i believe it's still not allowed in this century.

i'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and hope you're joking. lenny dykstra said the same thing about his track record (this was before his unfortunate incarceration) - he would just keep doubling down to infinity and blow up himself and his subscribers.

it's a combination of that and worries over the fiscal cliff and how that would negatively affect growth (i.e. demand for CL) if the fighting in the ME escalates we could easily see CL up a few dollars on that alone - remember ME fighting can and often does spread to other areas outside the...
